Kourt and Khloe are trying to force Kendal into a conversation about what it means to become a lady. When blood comes out of her vagina. Kendal says she knows what hormones are but doesn't think it's happening right now. Regardless, the girls are going to talk to her about it. Why can't Kris do it? Oh, probably because that's not as entertaining. I feel sorry for Kendal. Mainly because of her sisters.
Kris is back home and she's been icing her knee for, like, two hours, and it's not better yet. What the hell, it's probably broken. Although I'm pretty sure if it was broken it would have healed by now. She decides to call her doctor, and he says she could have torn something, so he wants to get a scan. I hope he tells her he needs to operate. Because she's gullible. Two days later she appears to be walking fine on the knee (into the hospital) but apparently she tore her meniscus so she needs knee surgery. Bah. I refuse to admit I was wrong and that she may have actually hurt herself, so this must all be some sort of elaborate prank. Right? Am I right???
Honey could you get the shaker and the Absolut that goes along with this bag of ice? I'm in pain here!
The surgery goes fine and Kris is back home recovering, looking exactly how she did when she called her doctor the first time. Khloe and Kourtney got her a present since she couldn't fulfill her cheerleader fantasy, and it's a cheerleader outfit. Hot.
Later, Kim and Kendal are sitting on the couch and Khloe comes down and asks Kylie to be her assistant. Because Kylie was asking a lot of period questions, they're going to do a demonstration. Um, of, uh, stuff. Kendal is squirming only slightly less than I am, partly because I feel bad for her being uncomfortable, and partly because it's easier for me to pretend none of this exists.
After the demonstration, Khloe thinks it would be fun if they watched the video of Kendal's birth. Yeah, that sounds like a blast. We see shots of Kim and Kourtney when they look pretty young. Ugh. Virtually everyone is really, really disgusted at the video. My favorite part was when someone yelled, "Mom peed on you!" It looks like Kim and Khloe were actually crying. I didn't even know they had feelings.
Even the dog is looking away.
So that's this week's episode. I'm glad we had all that build up and still Kendal still hasn't become a woman yet. Which means I'll have to deal with it for real later. Or I guess maybe not. What did you think of the episode? Not enough period talk? Not enough Chris Judd? Not enough childbirth shown?

The meniscal tear is hard to believe for me. I have never heard of knee surgery two days after the injury except if it is a pro athlete (time is money) but even that is pushing it. For one thing, you need to wait for all the swelling to go down before they can do the repair. A lot of times you also need the swelling to decrease before they can do an MRI to diagnosis a tear. That's neither here nor there I guess... we'll just to wait and see if she is using crutches in the next episode or if they just cut a few weeks of time out.

That woman was not injured. TOTAL BULLSHIT.
And yet, I still watch the show, even though my boyfriend told me I can't yell at the TV anymore.
Awesome recap, btw.

Oh. My. Gawd. As I read through this I thought that you had to be kidding about what the episode was about...but then realized-- in horror-- that you weren't!
I want some of whatever the person was smoking who comes up with the "scripts" for this "reality" fiasco.
Great recap! You save my brain cells from having to watch it, and my TV from having crap thrown at it in disgust!

Kristy, I'm sorry to say that your statements regarding the knee surgery are not correct. Swelling has nothing to do with how quickly a scan can be taken. If that were the case, no scans would ever be used b/c swelling tends to be the first sign that something is incorrect. Secondly, it was most likely a MRI that was performed b/c these detect tears, not just fractures and breaks, like an X-ray would. It is very to have knee surgery 2 days following the injury b/c MRI's have to be processed and read and insurance red tape has to be cut. Given Bruce's former Olympic athlete status, however, I would assume that he has expedited healthcare lined up should it be needed. Now, recovery from knee surgey is a b----, but a meniscus tear is not as severe or invasive as an ACL tear b/c they don't have to graf the tear w/another part. I say this all as someone who is not only in the medical field, but who also recently recovered from ACL reconstruction.
Sorry for all the geek-medical speak. Bottom line is that the editing on this show is so shady, it's completely reasonable to doubt everything that's shown.

Hello to another member of the medical field and I am glad you understood my point. I, like others, don't really believe that she injured her knee. At least in Pittsburgh, any surgeons I have worked with will not operate on someone until the swelling has gone down. I was also basing my crutch estimate on the the most basic surgery- a menisectomy which requires crutches for a minimum of 1-2 weeks.
The important point is the plot lines are so ridiculous that it is addicting
